It was a wild week in the world of college football. After the first rankings were released by the
Committee last Tuesday, we saw were they thought the top teams were positioned
at. Well, the rankings will see a
shakeup after this week.
The first upset of a top ten team was Oklahoma State over
TCU. Oklahoma State didn’t just win,
they absolutely demolished the eighth ranked Horned Frogs. So now, TCU’s playoff chances are almost
over, depending how far they drop after receiving a good beat down from number
14 Oklahoma State. A big question now is,
how far does Okie State rise after this?
Do they hop teams such as the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Stanford
Cardinal? I say that for sure they hop
into the Top Ten, but I have no idea how far up they will go.
The Navy Midshipmen beat the 13th ranked and
undefeated Memphis Tigers. I don’t think
that Memphis had a shot to make it into the Playoffs, but they for sure had the
best shot to get into a New Year selection committee bowl. But, instead the Midshipmen will probably end
up ranked in the Top 25 and having a shot at a really good bowl game.
Lastly, the #2 ranked LSU Tigers lost on the road to
one-loss SEC West rival Alabama by a score of 30-14. LSU just got plain outplayed by the Crimson
Tide, who will most likely get a trip to Atlanta with a game against Florida,
which, if the Tide win, will clinch them a playoff berth. LSU, meanwhile is in a tough spot. They will drop, and I don’t think they will
have a shot to get in unless Alabama somehow loses in the regular season. Leonard Fournette and company look to be
headed for a Committee Bowl Game.
